I am almost ashamed to say it, but for the first time in my life, I feel compelled to give props to a person I have personally loathed for years. Not sure if you have ever heard of him, but the guy's name is Tom Brady. He is the last person in the world I thought I would ever want…
I was listening to a podcast and the speaker was talking about an article from CNN demanding that we use new (neo) pronouns when non-binary people want us to. Neo-pronouns include xe/xem/xyr, ze/hir/hirs, and ey/em/eir. The speaker believed that these new pronouns are nothing but posturing by those who want to be seen as different, interesting, and unique. They compared…
I heard a song today, and boy did it strike a nerve. Not only was the tune catchy, but this song has made a giant impact on the mainstream of social media like no other song I know. It is called “The Rich Man North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony. It is an ode to the trials of the regular…

For two weeks prior to seeing Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny, I watched all four Indiana Jones movies to get ready for the final installment of the popular Indy franchise. Like so many people, the first Indiana Jones movie was a powerful cinematic experience for me. My…
1% on Rotten Tomatoes, 1%! The new Netflix docu-drama “Queen Cleopatra” starring black actress Adele James, is not being received well, and according to Rotten Tomatoes reviews, it is being summarily rejected by 99% of the people who have watched it. In case you are wondering, that is not considered a good score. But not to worry, instead of listening…
I am reading a book that has me spellbound: “Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth” by Ian Nathan. I have always been an avid Lord of the Rings fan, both the books and movies. So naturally, I am interested in this biography retelling details of Peter Jackson’s journey from acquiring the rights to the books…
Quiet desperation is how the poet Henry David Thoreau described the way most people live their lives. Instead of facing new challenges with an optimistic hope of success, many people would rather give up and hide from the world. I often feel this emptiness of soul right when I wake up in the morning, especially during the dark and cold…
I am an average American dad. I love my family, I believe in God, and I truly want peace and good relations with my neighbors. That’s it. Let me choose where I want to live, let me decide how to spend my money, let me be responsible for how I raise my kids, let me worship as I please, and…
